    Wildwood Sailing Club Incorporated
    Membership Rules



      The following are some of the basic rules of the W.S.C. They are to be read and considered
      before applying for membership.

   1. Each member is expected to help with maintenance of the club property and assist with
      work parties and/or clean up days.
   2. There is no overnight camping as W.S.C.
   3. No pets are allowed on W.S.C. property.
   4. Members and guest are requested to take their garbage home for disposal.
   5. Membership fees are to be paid and U.T.R.C.A. stickers are placed on all boats and sailboards (S.B.)
       before  they go into the water
. Club members with more than one boat or sailboard must purchase
        a sticker  for each boat   or sailboard

   6. Keys are not to be lent to non-members.
   7. Visitors will be the guest of, and the the responsibility of a member and must be
       accompanied by a member on each visit.
   8. Members who have invited guest to W.S.C. and said guests have brought their own
       boat or sailboard must ensure that the said guests have purchased a days pass from
       U.T.R.C.A. for their boat or sailboard.
    9. In the new season, existing paid up club members must claim their allotted dock
        space or sailboard slot on the rack by March 31 or it may be given to someone else.
    10. To prevent public free-loading on our facilities, members are asked to close and
         lock the gate behind them each and every time they enter or leave the club.
    11. Campfires and late parties have caused the committee much concern! In the
       interest of safe driving and out of respect for our neighbors, parties must break up,
       premises must be vacated, and gates locked by 11:00 p.m.
     12. The executive committee shall have the power to request any member to resign
           from membership, if in the opinion of the committee, his or her general conduct
          and disregard for rules has rendered them unworthy of membership.
    13. Cars are to be left in the parking area: Not driven across the grass to the boat area.
    14. If you are the last member to leave the club property be sure to arm (turn on)
        the alarm system before leaving.
     15. **NEW: Members who do not launch or use their boats for long periods of time
          may have their boat removed to a mooring or their wharf reassigned to another
         member. (In the past one boat sat at the wharf unused all summer. Another 1 1/2
        wharf spaces sat unused as the members boats were never launched. We need those
         wharf spaces for other club members.)


                                   MAJOR CHANGES, PLEASE NOTE

   1.  FOR SOME YEARS MEMBERS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PAY THEIR ANNUAL FEES BY    MARCH 31st .  Our Club has heavy financial obligations in the early part of the year and relies on member fees to meet these costs.  Please note that in 2004 (and 2005), member fees paid after March 31st will be subject to a $25.00 late payment penalty.

    2.  Our "Work Crew Program" has just completed its third year of operation.   Each work team meets on Saturdays, four times as season, to move docks, work on grounds or perform other tasks.  A person who can't attend on a scheduled date can turn up on a subsequent Saturday to make up the time.  Some person who can't make it on Saturdays can opt to perform specific tasks in their own time  (contact your team leader).

A motion was passed at our last Annual Meeting that members who find they cannot join either of these work programs may opt out by paying an additional  $50.00 on their memberships.  If you wish to opt out and have your name removed from the work crew,  you may do so by paying an additional $50.00. Please see this option on the application form.
